Sam O
Mr. Minnesota
2-5 L W L L W L L
Lost the Sam Bowl, and the schedule still has not let up
2-5 with the seventh-most points and 903.88 against, the most in the league by a wide margin. The only loser this week whose best lineup would not have won.
The story. Sam O lost to Sam B 122.00 to 102.32, his second straight loss, and is 2-5 with 810.40 points, seventh in the league. He has faced 903.88, the most in the league, 129.13 a week. His all-play record is 35-42, which says he should have about 3.18 wins, and luck rates -1.18. His optimal lineup was 105.42, so unlike the other five losers this week, there was no lineup that wins it.
What's working. Caleb Williams scored 22.12, outscoring C.J. Stroud (16.52) for once, and has 83.60 in four starts. Braelon Allen went 19.4, Kyren Williams 18.1, Ja'Marr Chase 17.2. Kyren (137.10), Davante Adams (102.00) and Chase (97.10) have 336.20 between them. Lineup efficiency is 90.2 percent, third, with 87.98 left on the bench all season and zero should-have-won losses.
The problem. Aaron Jones scored 3.6 at FLEX, Xavier Worthy 4.1, the Titans D/ST 0.0, Dallas Goedert 9.8. Chase has 97.10 on a 121.90 projection, still the biggest miss on the roster. Adams is on IR. The roster is 37.35 under projection, and the opponents keep scoring.
What to watch. Week 8 is Mike, the luckiest team in the league, who averages 11.30 fewer points and has a 21-56 all-play record. Mike's 104.47 average is the lowest of any opponent Sam O has faced this season. If the schedule was the problem, this is the week to prove it.
